»i search for god«

by Moemise Motsepe

i dance with the moon
and with words
i plant flowers in the sky

i am a voice
i search spaces
undefined
undefiled
unsung

i am a voice
i fly
high
above the universe of sound
beyond the galaxy of the eye

i am a voice on a journey
on a pilgrimage of the soul
and through the science of poetry
i search for god
outside the globe of the mind

in the quest for truth
i search the artwork of creation
and yet this journey keeps sending me back
back to where it all begins
there on sobukwe?s tomb
to write this poem

under the silence of the moon
at the centre of the earth
i know i have found my god
-ends-
